Rectangular Profile Cycle
 The Rectangular Profile Cycle cleans up the inside or outside profile
of a rectangle. When run, the CNC rapids to the Ramp #1 starting
position, rapids to H (Z StartHgt), and then feeds to the depth of the
first cut.
 The machine feeds into the profile along Ramp #1, cuts the
rectangle to the M (Length) and W (Width) specified then ramps
away from the work along Ramp #2.
 When cutting an inside profile, the Graphic Menu displays ramp
moves.
 When cutting an outside profile, the tool ramps into the profile along
Ramp #1 and away from the profile along Ramp #2.
 The Rectangular Profile Cycle automatically compensates for tool
diameter. Activate the correct tool diameter before the cycle block.
Field Code Description
Length M Finished length of rectangle. (Required)
Width W Finished width of rectangle. (Required)
StartHgt H The Absolute Z position before beginning to
mill the pocket. This must be 0.1” (or 2 mm)
above the surface. (Required)
ZDepth Z Absolute depth of the finished profile.
(Required)
Ramp R Radius of the ramping moves. (Required)
Side A Setting for cutting on the inside of the
profile (In) or the outside (Out). (Required)
0=Inside, 1=Outside
XCenter X X coordinate of the center. If no coordinate
is entered, the CNC centers the profile at its
present position.
YCenter Y Y coordinate of the center. If no coordinate
is entered, the CNC centers the profile at its
present position.
